Indefinite Pronouns
There are three types of indefinite pronouns (неопределителни местоимения): personal (some(one)), for quality (some(kind of)) and for quantity. (several/a few/some). The personal indefinite pronouns have Nominative and Genitive forms (again the masculine form has also Accusative - някого and Dative - някому forms). Unlike in English, in Bulgarian the word for something is not an indefinite pronoun, but a neuter noun -нещо.

Famous quotes containing the words indefinite and/or pronouns:
“There are times when they seem so small! And then again, although they never seem large, there is a vastness behind them, a past of indefinite complexity and marvel, an amazing power of absorbing and assimilating, which forces one to suspect some power in the race so different from our own that one cannot understand that power. And ... whatever doubts or vexations one has in Japan, it is only necessary to ask oneself: “Well, who are the best people to live with?””
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
“In the meantime no sense in bickering about pronouns and other parts of blather.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
